Solutions: Uninstalling what the uninstaller left behind
Q. When I start my computer, I get this message: "Cannot find a device file that may be needed to run Windows or a Windows Application. The Windows registry or SYSTEM.INI file refers to this device file, but the device file no longer exists. If you deleted this file on purpose, try uninstalling the associated application using its uninstall or setup program. If you still want to use the application associated with this device file, try reinstalling that application to replace the missing file: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VSHINIT.VXD." Please tell me how to reinstall this file. I'm not able to view e-mails with pictures and I don't know how it got deleted.
